But based off the books I've been reading, such as J.

Is there a way around this besides double closing or off market?

Or if rates have gone up (unlikely), then put more money down and tell your bank to take off the PMI (assuming it isn't an FHA loan).

I’m the off market guy for the area, if you’d like to get a dialog going shoot me a PM to discuss further.

With interest rates so low we have refinanced into several 15 year mortgages with the goal of quickly paying down/off a few properties.

I have a house in my neighorhood that is off by around $1M+ from both these sites. 

Or should I hold title until the buyer obtains bank loan and pays me off to transfer title. 

A balloon may be slightly more attractive terms, but, you will have some inherit trade offs.

You procure a cash-out loan from the bank and use that cash to pay off the partners.

Now, other tax incentives like simple business write offs for expenses to set up the properties as an STR that’s most likely still something you can write off against your rental income gains.
